Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut Cherry Red

The P-90 double cut that brings the sixties back to life

The Epiphone 1960 Les Paul Special Double Cut is a direct tribute to the sleek, no-nonsense Les Paul Specials that rolled out of the Gibson factory in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Two cutaways for unrestricted access to the upper frets, two P-90 Pro pickups for a raw, characterful tone, and a wrap-around bridge that makes the guitar direct and responsive. This is an instrument for players who know what they want.

The two Epiphone P-90 Pro single-coils deliver a tone somewhere between a humbucker and a Stratocaster pickup: full and warm in the lows, but with a sharpness and presence that humbuckers rarely achieve. Ideal for blues, rock-'n'-roll, garage, and indie. The 1960 SlimTaper D-neck plays fast and comfortably, while the 24.75" scale length and 12" radius provide a familiar Les Paul feel. The wrap-around stopbar bridge keeps the construction simple and ensures direct transfer of string vibration to the mahogany body.

Body and neck are both made of mahogany, with an Indian Laurel fretboard featuring pearloid dot inlays and 22 frets. The Epiphone Deluxe tuners with Keystone knobs ensure stable tuning. The electronics are classic: two volume and two tone controls with a 3-way switch. Finished in the timeless Cherry Red lacquer that makes this model so recognizable.
